Confession Countdown

In high school, I was the invisible person in the class, yet I secretly had a crush on Pei Xu.

On graduation day, I mustered up the courage to take a photo with him. He smiled and said to me, “Your hair is messy.”

Years later, when we met again, he had already become a top singer.

During an interview, when asked about his first love, he glanced inconspicuously at me sitting in the audience.

“I confessed, but it was too subtle. She didn’t realize.”

This was our sixth year since graduation.

It was also my third day after being diagnosed with cancer.

I decided, as my life began its countdown, to have a love I would never regret.
